!±8± Pull Up - Chin Up Workout

When I started doing pull-ups I do not like at all. Probably because I could not do that much. I was not even sure exactly which muscles are worked.

When I was better than them, I began to come. I can not imagine not doing so now. With the variety of hand positions you can have a huge upper body and develop strength.

Before you hand in the positions we want to distinguish between a pull-up and a chin. A pull-up is when your palmsshow that you are gone. Chin ups are when you show the palms of your hands.

All muscles work in different ways. Pull ups work the back and forearms during the pull-up to focus on the biceps.

I use a pull-up bar door, which allows a few different hand positioning. Some offer more items and then there are the standard bar straight, offering less.

For the basic strength hands on the bar at shoulder width apart, palms facing away.Your feet should not touch the ground. Pull until the head and chest over the bar nearly touches. Lower still. This is one.

Put your hands farther away to focus more on the lats. Brine them closer to work about 6-8 cm apart from the lower back. Both palms facing away.

The switch to a reverse grip or palms to show more work the biceps. You can also change the positioning by hand with a pull-up. Narrow,Shoulder width and breadth. Some pull up bar makes your palms facing each other, also work in lat.

Depending on the day I will make two or three sets of eight to 10 repetitions. Or I'll just continue until I can no longer do.

These are the basic techniques. Once you get comfortable with the experiments, a few others. Taken what is already known when fighting the palm upwards and the other is gone.

Putting a towel over the bar and held with one hand and yourother on the counter. On one side is lower than the other, makes the work harder on the bar. And then of course there are menus by hand.

You can get some work in as well. Hang at the bar, palms away or another. Then lift your legs in front of you do your body in shape of "L" and wait. See how high you can set.
